It's been 4 years?!

I'm sure I could have found a not so goofy looking picture, but I don't really feel like digging around for that. This was interesting since the hubby and I are extremely clumsy. I'm surprised we managed not to spill any of the champagne on either of us. I wish I had the full picture of my cake with the fountain in the middle courtesy of my mamasita! It's nice to have a mom who decorates cakes for a living.

We had this ceremony for our friends and family on July 10, 2005. We had been legally married since April 29, 2005. Our April wedding wasn't bad. We got married at City Hall with our pastor being able to participate in most the ceremony. And then we walked onto the beach and had a blessing prayed over us. But our July wedding was just so much more fun with our family and friends there to celebrate with us. Sure it was stressful (which was why I wanted to elope in the first place) but I am glad I have the fondest memories. Arguing with my baby cousin who wanted to get her hair redone because it made her look like a baby which my response to her was that I wanted her to look like a baby since she would be walking with an older guy and she was only 16. Hearing my twin nephews (who were 2 1/2 years old) call out for me during the ENTIRE ceremony. I love them. Breaking it down on the dance floor with my favorite girls. Or having my hubby "dance" to salsa and reggaeton (urban music in Spanish...think Daddy Yankee) which my hubby's form of dancing to that was hopping around the dance floor. Seeing my in-laws dance (the one time they did) to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard. Having my brother-in-law (who was 5 at the time) dance much like my hubby does (think hopping) around us any time we were on the dance floor. Seeing some of my aunts dancing and laughing like little girls. And noticing the fact that besides my BFF and her parents dancing none of my hubby's family would get up to dance. I didn't worry that left me much more dancing room. :)

This is me with my matron of honor aka BFF, Shanna. And now through marriage we are cousins (she is first cousins with my hubby)!

This moment looks really sweet, but it isn't as sweet as you would think. My dad was trying to get me to cry like a little baby. I was trying my hardest not to, so that I wouldn't ruin my make up.

What are we doing for our 4 anniversary you ask? We forgot today was our anniversary since we've been busy like crazy trying to get our house to sell. So I got a crown put in this morning courtesy of the dentist and the hubby is working late since he went in late so he could watch Little Monkey for me. Woo hoo! I've been lazy about cooking dinner lately. I guess I can make a good dinner tonight and bake him his favorite cookies, Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies.

Here's the recipe:
